Google Translater for Indic Web ( Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Gujarati, Bengali)

Google now translates in our mother tongue too.. Sounds familiar but there is a new stuff added to the translater complier. yes, the translater actually tries to get the meaning of a word instead of simply converting a word from one language to other...

For example, If you want to convey "thanks" to a tamilian and you know only english. Now its not a problem. Just use google translater and now it translates and finds the exact tamil word for "thanks" from its tamil dictionary. Sounds interesting right? I tried few words to translate and it works.. but still google still holds this in "alpha" version as it couldn't convert a whole sentense from english to Indic languages. The reason is Indian languages often use Subject Object Verb (SOV) order unlike English, which uses Subject Verb Object (SVO) order. see the picture below



More details about Google translator check Indic Web and the URL for you to test the same.
